    No reverse on auto D2 :(

    seems to only have affected the reverse switch....worth a go as its going! The td5 box has electronic control of the valves inside so without a signal that i want REVERSE it won't do it. had an oil change about 10k ago, been fine and still drives well in all other gears

    Sluggish disco.........not any more!

    have you tried twaeking the boost up a little aswell? in the lr 4x4 article it tells you how to turn the boost up by altering the length of the actuator rod. This makes a great deal of difference without any major problems, can also clean up the emmmisions if ours is a bit smoky pre / post...

    Aluminium Chassis

    not strong enough in box section form i guess. tubular chassis on T45 or something even more exotic.

    to auto or not to auto? that is the question
